Ontario-based and Canadian-founded Vision Greens officially launched its lineup of Foodland Ontario certified non-GMO, pesticide-free leafy greens. The company grows lettuce varieties in a vertical farm using proprietary growing technology. 

It recently raised $7 million from what the company said are “investors that are purpose-driven business leaders, including members of the Canadian grocery segment focused on changing Canada’s food system by bringing affordable, sustainably grown, fresh, local produce to market.” 

With the investment, Vision Greens said it will expand its operations to grow 700,000 pounds of saleable produce annually and scale distribution to leading grocers and meal kit companies that currently include Metro, Pusateri’s, and Goodfood.
